The Cincinnati Nomination.
Since our last issue the nominations of
the Liberal Republican party have been
made. The succ-ss of the nomiuees depends
in a great measure upou the action
of the Democratic party. For his earnest
* support of the general amnesty doctrine.
?? T %Jorace Greeley will be likely to rrc ive
the support of the southern wing of that
]>ftrty. For his advocacy of the caus; of
universal suffrage and his services to the
Republican party, he w.U probably receive
a large portion of the colored vote.

Death of Igcnry Mi Stuart^ Sr.
As we go to press, the paiurul intelligence

ciiiz-ns, has been summoned
from the cares and responsibilities of this
life, to thatfutme which li^so near us

friend, and genial neighbor, thus- tak?n
from our midst. There are others left in

than Mr. Stuart, but u'?ne whose years

entire community than his; and not ab >ve

embraced in the self pois?d noble christian

death we suflbr no commoa lo>s. Mr.

Port Royal Rail Road.
DnxiE P. R R. R , S. O., May 7th.
At last this great achievement, this
v.*ork which is to revolutionize the commerce.
and throw into market the produe1
ions of South Eastern South Carolina,
is about to be corup'eted.?is in fact now
completed, the road having reached one of
the most important points on the line of
the road, and being now witbia ten miles
of the heart of the cotton country. Oa
Sa'ordav, the 4-.h inst., fully five hundred
people had gathered at Dixie to witness
the arrival of the train. It came?loaded
with freight, with passengers of every description,
from land and timber speculators.
to merchants and manufacturers;
the former rapidly spread themselves
through the town in search of owners of
timbered land* in the vicinity of the rail
road. Town lots, in D xie, within an
boar after the arrival of Saturday's train
rose in value fully fifty per centum. Four
additional saw mills are now in process of
erection, aud in reality so much energy in
every branch is heiug displayed, that it is
doubtful whether the gold excitement of
! California, much surpassed the timber cx
citeraecrt of to day.
Many causes point to Dixie as the most
j important place in future on the line of
the road, especialy its position with reference
to C ?lleton, and to the only complete
causeway over the Coosawhatchie, which
ensures for it receipts of cotton probably
: equal to that which may be auticipatt d at
alt other points on the road. The nsult
is due largely to the enterprise of Several
| of the euergetic citizens who foreseeing
the future magnitude of the place, nave
spared neither time, money, or labor to
build the place up.
Among the many buildings which within
the past month have sprung up as it
were by magic io the heart of a wilderness.
proinment stands that of Mij. A. j
McIJride Peeples, the upper portion of
which he has had c instructed for the
benefit of the masonic fraternity, thus j
ftiruishiog them with one of the most j
commodious aud elegautly appoioted
Lodges m the S!ate. T;ie lower part of
ih's building, which is in itself aa insti- I
Union is doubly uoticeable from the fact
that it coutaius a stock of goods which :
would make envious s ?me of our Chirleston
merchant. We saw that the Major
himself, aud judging by the crowd about
his counters, we thiuk the public were j
showing due appreciation of the energy
m-hH ivitv which his eharaetcriz >d the
under taking. We siy success to him.
That the road has been pushed lorvrard
with such rapidity, since the aetiou of the ;
Georgia It R.t is due to the energetic
movements of S. C. Millett, superintendent
and George Gage, chief engineer,
whose universal courtesy has made for
them friends from all those with whom
they have been thrown in contact, aud
whose determin* d efforts resulting in the
completion of this great undertaking
eudeais their names to every friend of the
Stale.. They are real good men and gentlemen.
Three cheers for the Tort Royal Rail
R ?ad?for the country which it has opened

whereupon eaid Jenkins was required to
give bonds for good behaviour for one
year and one day,
Sally Jenkins and Jane Moultrie, were
on Tuesday tried before Ridley K. Carleton,
Trial Justice, for assault and battery
committed upon Anna Robinson. All
the parties were children. The evidence
showed great brutality on the part of the
offenders.
Forcible but dangerous argument:? |
Robert Snipe and II? c'or Hamilton, farm- :
ers and residents at the Rose Plantation
on Port Tloyal I-s'and, became enraged a
few days since while in an argument as to
which one of them had the right to use a
mule belonging on the place, when Snipe
pointed his logic by giving Hamilton a
blow across the back of the neck with a
club, thereby felling his opponent to the
ground, and causing blood to flow from
his mouth and nose and rendering him
senseless several hours from the severity
of the blow. Subsequently Snipe was arrested
and an examination had before
Trial Justice Ridley K Carleton, when he
was required to give a bond for his appearance
at the next term of General
Sessions.
And thus we have a chapter on crimes
even in quiet peaceful Beaufort. Bob
Bylhewood, who heads the list is an old
offender. There is scarcely a week passes
but he is arraigned before the courts ' i
charged with violation of the law. There
is not a political gathering of any kind
that he does not succeed iu bullying him- | (
self into, aod generally succeeds in getting
up a tolerable decent sized row. The last 1
< political convention held here he managed ! j
to hn heart's content. Now we demand, j i
iu the name of a community that loves
peace and order, that this man, who has '
been charted with all the crimes ranging j j
from an assiult and battery to burglary (
and larceny, at the next ttjrn of court, IJ
receive his just deserts, even though it jJ
should send him to the Penitentiary for
the balauce of his natural life. We are
will ng to sacrifice Robert for the ca?se of '
good order and decency.

THE PLATFORM OF THE CINCINNATI 1
CONVENTION. i!
i?
: I
The following aie the resolutions in ;
full: :;
We, the Liberal Republicans of the
United States in national convention as- 1 t
sembled at Cincinnati, proclaim the tol- ,
lowing principles as essential to a just t
government:
First. We recognize the equality of all (
men before the luff, and hold that it is the ' ,
duty of the g'?verumeut, in its dealings ,
with the people, to mete out equal and J
exact justice to all. of whatever nativity, j
race, coior or persuasion, religious or political.
! '
Second. We. pledge ourselves to main- ,
tain the union of these States, einancipation
and enfranchisement, and to oppose. j
day reopening of the questions settled by ,
the thirteenth, fourteenth and lifieeuth (
aineudmeiits of the constitution. j;
Third. We demand the immtdiate and ,
absolute removal of all d isabilities imposed ;
on account ot the rebelli >n, which was ;
tina'ly su?alu? d st-veu years ago, believing
that universal amuesly will result in the
c 'niplete pacitication of all sections of the country.
Fourth. Local self-government, with !
. impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of (
' ail citizens more securely than any centralized
power. The public wellare re- i
quires the supremacy 01 iDe civu over me (
i military authority, anil the freedom of i
person under the protection of the habeas i
corpus. We demand for the individual
the largest liberty cous'steut wi>h public i
order, for the States Self-government, aud
for the nation a return to the methods of ;
p-ace und the Constitutional limitation of j
po^er.
Fifth. The eivil serviee of the govern- ;;
meut has become a mere instrument of
partis iu tyrauuy and personal ambition, i
aud an onject of selfish greed. It is a <
i scandal and reproach upon our free lusti- !
tutions, aud breeds a demoralization daugerous
to the perpetuity of R publican i
government. We, theiefore, regard a i
thorough reform.of the civil service as one ! i
of the most pressingnctessitiesofihebjur; |
that honesty, capacity aud fidelity constitute
the only valid claims to public employment;
that the offices of the government
ceases to be a matter of arbitrary
favoritism and patronage, and that public
stations become again posts of honor. To j
this end it is imperatively required that
no president shall be a candidate for re- j
election.
Sixth. We demand a system of Federal
taxation whici shall not tfnuectssarily
interfere with the industry of the people,
aud which shall provide means necessary
to pay the expenses of the government,
economically administered, pensions, the
interest on the public debt, and a moderate
reduction, annually, of the principal j
th-reof, and recoguiiing that there are in
our midst honest but irreconcilable dif- ;
ferences of opinion with regard to the respective
systems of protection and free i
trade, we remit discussion of the subject
to the people ia their congressional distrin'H
find the d.-rismn of Co.nm RS there
od, wholly free of executive interference
or dictation.
Seventli. The public credit must be
sacredly maintained, and we denounce repudiation
in every form and guise.
Eighth. A speedy return to specie pay- 11
mentis is demanded alike by the highest
considerations of commercial morality and
honest government.
Ninth. We remember with gratitude
the heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers
and sailors of the. republic, and no act of
ours shall ever detract from their justly
earned fame or the fu'.l reward of their
patriotism.
Tenth. We are opposed to all further
grants of lands to railroads or other corporations.
The public domain should be
held sacred to actual settlers.
Eleventh. We hold that it is the duty
of the G ivernmeut in its intercourse with
foreign nations to cultivate the friendship 1
of peace by treating with all on fair and j1
pqual terms, regarding it alike dishonors- ,
ble either to demand what is not right or
to submit to what is wrong.
Twelfth. For the promotion and suc>8s
of these vital nrincip'es. and the support
of the candidates nominated by this
convention, we invite and cordially welcome
the co-operation of all patriotic citi- < J
s"us without regard to previous political
ifiiiiation. ; '

'"Some men are horn to g<v?d luck, "an 1
uthers have it thrust upon them.'' Four!
years ago, a citizen of New York went 1 1
South, with noth.ng in the world hut a
a shirt and a hot tie of whiskey. He turned (

reeti<m, secured a tat office, and has made 1
two hundred thousand dollars. The other ,

so and went to Kurope, but on his return e

a bold, brave grit aui grip about them that ,

rea of one acre. The steam pipes ernployd
would extend in a straight line twenty five

of water on the root ready for constant
